I can't speak for chess, but in gaming where there's similarly no sex advantage, female gamers are rarely seen at the higher levels because the environment is very hostile towards them. Creating a separate women's league would alleviate this to some degree and encourage more women to actually try to reach for the top.
So in esports there are also distinct female divisions. I haven't seen a female team play a male team in Dota2, CS, LoL, any fighting games, etc.
Because the field is known to be hostile to women and filled with creepy incels? Have you SEEN how they act anytime a "female gamer" pops up?
So it's not because of skill differences? Very weird.....
